You can’t do it… yet. That one word changed everything for Abby. From leading warmups when no one else would… to choosing a future in firefighting because no one else saw it coming. This episode? It’s proof that initiative isn’t about being the loudest — it’s about being the one who starts.
Abby didn’t wait for someone to tell her how to lead. She took initiative — whether it was fixing team energy, staying ready during the off-season, or choosing to chase her “maybe” dream of becoming a firefighter.
📍“They said I couldn’t do it… yet. And that was enough.”
From varsity courts to future firehouses, Abby’s journey is packed with lessons on how to step up, tune out the noise, and take ownership of your own path — even when it’s scary.
She’s proof that leadership isn’t about titles or status. It’s about the little decisions that are made and add up over time. Because real confidence? It isn’t loud. It’s consistent. It's built through doing not saying.
🎧 Listen to Abby’s story now — because waiting for the perfect moment might be the thing holding you back from becoming who you’re meant to be.
